Q:How do you save your season and then get back to it?
A1:
At the calender, while you're in your season, hit the right analog stick, go down to either easports.com, or there's a 'save' you can select. click save, and find your association file and overwrite it. To load it back up, when you start your game, go to load/save at the main menu. If you have an edited roster, like a created player on your team, load the roster file first. If you have specified settings saved, load those as well. And then, finally, load your association file and it will go straight to your season screen
Got to roster, go to the player you would want his number changed. A menu will appear, then choose the one that would help you change the number of his jersey. This won't be possible if the game season hasn't started yet.
Q:IN "the association" mode my players keep getting worse! is it not enough practice time, or what?
A1:
You have to go to coaching and use your development hours, only 10 hours per month
A2:
You probley play the starters too much an when you practice only do light practice
A3:
Schedule your practices right. If you want to focus on a player, simply find his name. Adjust the level (light, normal, intense) of practice. Bear in mind that as the intensity increases, your player decreases his energy or gets fatigued. To rectify this, there would be days wherein you wouldn't hold practice or practices would be lighter.
